> we will continue to ennui ourselves...

I’m trying to recall which post from yesterday used this word which we probably both read.

But FYI I believe the word is merely a noun; one cannot ennui oneself.

Thanks. It turns out it can be used as a verb:

- (verb, transitive) To make bored or listless; to weary.

But it doesn't quite capture what I mean. It's not merely that we're boring ourselves by some particular activity, but by deciding that reality itself is boring.
